The early Azaleas are starting to bloom. Every day, they seem to get brighter and brighter and more and more of them are blooming.

The ones that I enjoy the most are the huge old timey ones that grow 6-12 foot tall. These are typically not pruned very often, and provide an amazing display of color starting this time of the year.

My neighbor has this dwarf, double pink with small but really pretty flowers. Every year, I tell myself that I am going to start some cuttings.

Mmmmmmhhhhh! I think I had better mark a few branches because after they bloom, it is difficult to tell which is which and they have them planted very close together.

It's certainly a sign of spring and a very welcome sign at that.

Now, if they could only get those wonderful, new air conditioners at school to be operational. It was HOT today.

Ann, please post lots of pix of the azaleas. Your part of the country is famous for those!! That is one of the things I really miss about the Northwest. May is just splendid with all the rhodies and azaleas in bloom. Hopefully, we will be able to grow some around here. I have a spot that is perfect for them. All it takes is time and money!!

Sandi- We had gorgeous azaleas and rhodos on Long Island. Do you suppose it's cause it's about the same latitude as Washington ? (good gravy I hope I didn't mix up longitude and latitude and embarass myself further picturing where Washington is on a map) ;)
